Just ahead of declaring the Games ‘Closed’ Princess Astrid will meet with athletes and their families. The concert will be a large “Thank You” party for the volunteers, supporters and families who have travelled far and wide to support the Games and of course it will celebrate the athletes who have inspired all of us with their skill and passion this week.“We will also use the opportunity to thank the media in Belgium and internationally for their extensive coverage and support of the 2014 Special Olympics European Summer Games” says Mark Vanlombeek, spokesperson for the Games.
